Manaka Ranaka will be welcoming her baby in few weeks time and the star can not wait to see her bundle of joy.
This is coming after she recently became a grand mother after her eldest daughter, Katlego gave birth a few weeks ago.
She plays Lucy Diale on the hit SABC 1 soapie but will be taking a breather as she prepares to go on maternity leave very soon.
Manaka is not know to motherhood as she already has two grown daughters as she slammed those who felt having daughters can not be compared to having a son.
She said: “It’s the same feeling I felt when I had my two daughters, so this experience is nothing new. People have been saying they hope I’m carrying a boy, but we’ll see. I look forward to giving birth to a child. I don’t care if it’s a boy or a girl, as long as it’s not an animal.”
“Boys and girls are equally important and have different functions in society. “I don’t believe that boys are necessarily better. According to society and culture norms, they’re carriers of legacies. Girls also bring kids into this world,” she added.
The expectant mother said she will be going on maternity leave very soon.
Manaka said: “I’m still working, but will go on leave a few weeks from now. Lucy will also be gone.”
There have been quiet a few lockdown babies and there are still a few who are still expecting them.
